[...] But coming back to the original subject, and what the project can/should do to make the freedom more visible - I feel from the discussion we have a majority for the proposal that the usage of the non-OSS repo should be an option, not a default.
Do we need a poll on that? How do we get it set-up for the next release? Or do we drop it at all?
1. the audience here is not representative 2. the non-oss repo is not used during installation by default already 3. the installer can't disable the use of specific repos after installation. That would have to be implemented. 4. an enabled non-oss repo doesn't mean packages from it are used 5. not everything in the non-oss repo is closed source software. openttd-opensfx for example is just sound files. IOW the separation of free and non-free components serious is already implemented and _a default openSUSE Leap 42.2 installation only installs packages from the OSS repo_. The official DVDs only contain packages from the OSS repo. So I'd suggest to concentrate and build on those messages rather than wearing out on this enable/disable discussion. As I already wrote elsewhere, fixing patterns-openSUSE to simply not install the non-oss pattern would be a rather quick and easy first step to avoid zypper inr installing non-free things. That strengthens point #4 above. I'm looking forward to a submit request against system:install:head/patterns-openSUSE. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
